Let me set the right expectations. I took all the work I did to get https://cupid.careers federated and turned it into a standalone Django application. It does not yet implement C2S, but the plan is to have a generic AP server with a system to let accounts register their own actors.
I am taking a lot of inspiration from https://codeberg.org/Vocata/vocata (h/t @nik) and hope this saves the way to my idea of a "Social Web Browser".
Hiring managers now can can post job opportunities on https://cupid.careers, which will be published by @thecupid to the Fediverse
This is the first and main paid feature of the service. I'm still figuring out the pricing, but at the moment I'm putting it at $89/month, with a 7-day free trial, and you can cancel any time.
To help bootstrap it, there is a 2025 deal: $20.25/month for the first 45 companies - DM me please for promotion code.
Please boost for reach. Let's get #fedihired
You can add @thecupid to the list! I've been using it learn more about ActivityPub as an application protocol, and integrated the website (https://cupid.careers) with the Fediverse. By following the bot or interacting with any of its polls, your AP actor gets registered on the website as a new account.
I can not help you directly, but it would be great if you could https://cupid.careers and build your profile. That site needs precisely more professionals like you, who have a good idea of what they are looking for and what they value in a job.
@scott That I agree. This is indeed the question.
Going back to your "hybrid approach": I have said a few times before that I'd like to turn my https://cupid.careers site into something of a "fediverse-native" application. But if I were to do that I still face the same challenges I face when working on a fediverse-related hosting business:
- anti-business culture
- people only pay for something after value prop is proven
- tragedy of the commons: too many "free" servers out there.
Perhaps I should start working again on https://cupid.careers and make it more than just questions about culture.
Perhaps a system where we have a whole graph of skills (as granular as possible) and people can claim their own expertise level on the skills, and have other people meta-evaluating those claims. From there, each job the interviewer declares the minimum required level of skill(s) to that position and how important they are.
